What Mornings Be Like

I will Kill You.

I love my beauty sleep. I love it so much. Especially on the weekends. Heck, I even managed to talk our pastor into not starting church until later so we could all sleep some more. People say you are suppose to rest on Sunday yet they want you to get out of the bed at like 7 to go to worship. GOD SAID REST PEOPLE!!!! That means you rest.

I am very picky about my sleep. I am picky about my position in how I sleep. I have to be cold. Seriously winter time comes, touch the damn heat around me I swear I will knock you out so fast your head will spin. Put some blankets on you and a sweat shirt on and shut up. I love my coldness don't mess with it. 

So anyhow, how you wake me up is key. Basically you better have glitter, really good food (Chick fil a) or be Frankie. Otherwise it won't be pretty guaranteed. 

Below is what will happen if you wake me up with any of the above things.

Fresh Start Challenge Day 25: To Whom It May Concern

Top 5

1. Elle

2. Madame

3. Ke$ha

4. Odette

5. Frankie

Dear Elle, 

I looked up to you all of my young life. You were amazing sister that always looked out for me. I wish it had stayed that way but we both started growing up and moving on. I guess I thought you were going to stay the sweet and good Elle. But you started going wild and I didn't approve and then it came my turn. You got angry at me for going wild. You started ignoring me and not looking out for me anymore. We basically became enemies.

It wasn't until I moved that we realized how stupid we both were getting. I don't regret flying to see you January 2013 (you probably do though.) I know some bad things came out of that trip and I am really sorry for that. Though, one amazing thing came out of the trip. You and I are close again. I love seeing you so happy! You have really blossomed into one amazing person and I know you will be a fantastic mom!

You influenced me to be wild and conquer the world.

Love Mary Ann

Dear Madame,

I have never had someone intimidate me like you did when I met you. I was shocked at how polished and put together you were. Because let me tell you the other people that interviewed me I was happy I didn't get a call back from them. There was even one person I told her I changed my mind. She looked frumpy. 

But getting onto the good things. You influenced me in so many ways. You made me believe in myself. You made me take my passion and love it more and more. I never knew that teaching little ones would make me so happy. However, it really helped me see a purpose with my life. It showed me that the smallest little kid has an opinion that matters. And that teaching hygiene and manners are so important that's why I stress that so much. 

So thank you for believing in me and giving me a chance to grow and love what I do.

Love Mary Ann

Dear Ke$ha,

You know that craze in 2002 when Avril Lavigne made it onto the scene and all the girls wanted work skater pants and ties? Yeah when you hit the scene in 2009 that was it for me I knew I found my music soulmate. I  was already smashing bottles of glitter and you just made it twice as bad. And it has literally taken over my life. You have said and sung so many things I agree with about guys and life.

I cannot tell you how many times those songs have changed my whole day and basically my life since they came to my iTunes library. You have been an inspiration to me with your outlooks on life. Because I know you don't put up with people and your past is what you are rising above as well.

"Just because I'm sassy and have a mouth on me doesn't mean I'm coming from a negative place." I agree. Some people mistake having a mouth to being completely rude.

"When you're around me, you're going to get glitter on you." 

This is just how I greet people.

I love Kate Middleton too but something about you stands out to me. And meeting was a dream come true.

Love Mary Ann

Dear Odette,

Do I really tell need to tell you how you have influenced me? I mean I talk about it all the time. 

1) You are a Godly woman.

2) You handle everything so well.

3) You have a huge heart.

4) You made me want to be a better person.

5) Your relationship is the model what I want for my relationship.

6) You have desire and passion for life.

That's how you inspire me. You have always inspire me. You have always pushed me to see my self worth.

I love you forever & ALWAYS

Mary Ann

Dear Frankie,

I know you are freaking out trying to figure how you inspire me. But let's be honest. I was much like the thing back in the day. (Yes people I just went there.) I wanted attention for the wrong reasons. Odette helped me see the errors of my way but baby the biggest person to help me with that was you. You helped me see how I could change my ways for the better. I didn't have to keep whining or crying. I could say it once and cry once. The quote you gave me has really helped me with moving on from things in my life. "Cry as hard as you want but once you stop you are not allowed to cry about that subject again." I have loved living by that quote. 

I feel inspired by how courageous you are and how you find inspiration to move on day to day when your body basically tells you to sit down and be quiet. You fight with a fierce determination that not only inspires me but others as well. You are a huge inspiration to me now. You give me hope, inspiration, and love. You are the most amazing person. 

I love you,

Mary Ann

Honorable Mentions: Hunter, Jessica, and Momma

Momma,

I know we are just getting to really know each other, but I love how you are so crazy. It really helps me see that it's you that I get that from. You and you're flashy self.

I love you, 

Mary Ann

Hunter,

The loud one that moved into my house a year ago and totally flipped my world upside down. Thank you for being there for me and helping me move on from all the negativity people send my way.

Hearts N Glitter,

Mary Ann

And last but certainly not least.

Jessica,

What do I say about you? You are one heck of a woman. Books, nail polish, and beaches. That's where it's at babe. We got many years ahead of us doing crazy things from really wild water parks, to making you go 461 feet in the air on roller coaster (don't shake your head at me), to putting our toes into the sandy shores of Hawaii. We got this life together and we aren't going to waste it.

Love you bunches,

Mary Ann

A Basket Full of Cookies

I have been terrified of this weekend.

Why you ask?

Well Frankie said we were going to talk about us having children. You see Frankie has always been unsure about having kids because of his chronic disease, Crohn's. For those who either are just plain assholes or really don't know; Chronic Disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not cured. NOT CURED! And yes that's my Frankie.

He doubts being able to being stable enough to give them the love and support they deserve. I personally think he would be the most amazing dad. For starters, he gets to be the stay at home parent who spoils them rotten with cookies and ice cream. But he doesn't see that. He thinks he would be distant because he would worry.

He fails to realize that he is amazing uncle!!!! They don't come running to him over Chris for nothing.

But this morning I was totally swept off my feet and reduced to tears.

I woke up to a box of tiny cookies. This were macadamia nut and white chocolate which is my second favorite kind of cookie! The top cookies spelled out "Eat Us." Eat them I did.

This was below the cookies. No this is not my picture this is the website's picture.

We are going to have little glittery monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fresh Start Challenge Day 20: Just So You Know

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

"My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn’t mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go"

It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music.”

i love you. i love you not because you're adorable

or because you're sweet, or because you're my 

best friend. i love you because you make me step 

outside myself & look at who i really am. you 

make me want to be a better person, just because 

you are who you are. i can tell you absolutely 

everything, & i know you will listen. and you're one

Fresh Start Challenge Day 19: Make It Rain

I wouldn't have half the scars on me if someone had doused me glitter when I was feeling bad. I love the sparkle and shine of glitter. I am not one of these people that hates that glitter is hard to clean up. Life needs more sparkle.

Heck at my funeral I want big freaking confetti to celebrate my life. I want to be wearing a sequin dress (even if I live to be 104) and my hair shining with sparkles. Heck don't send flowers just cover my grave with sequins and glitter or even glitter flowers if you must. Oh and don't forget cookies for the grave beside me! I will be smiling at all of you from my glitter cloud that God has prepared for me! I mean that would be the perfect ending to my life is a bunch of glitter. Oh please please wear sequins and sparkles too, I promise it won't be disrespectful.

Off of the gloomy subject of death. Seriously glitter makes me so excited. Anything that sparkles or can sparkle I love! I love modge podging things so that they have glitter on them! All the way down to my tv remote! Yep I love it that much!

Fresh Start Challenge Day 10: Pleasure ...and Pain

I was thinking of keeping this post PG rated.... Nah.... What's the fun in that?

1. Number one thing that is a guilty pleasure? An enema. As long as I want it, if I don't want it kills. 
2. Seeing Frankie in his towel... And ripping it from him.
3. Being blindfolded. Not going to lie. I love it even outside being sexual thing. 
4. Glitter everywhere. Ah come on you guys knew that was coming! 
5. Flipping someone's world upside down without them knowing it was me that did it. Honey come on I seen the bus coming too bad you didn't. And based on your face it hit where it should have.
6. Dog clothes! Yes I dress up my dogs. My boss knows that's why I am late have the time. She used to be pissed at me but she is one of my best friends so she just shakes her head now.
7. Country food, I am not a country girl. I was born in Seattle. My mom is from Hoover but let's face it. I am not a country girl. But I have my streaks of country. 
8. Strawberries or cherries dipped into things. Frosting, sugar, cheese, chocolate, and even sour cream and onion dip. I've done it.
9. A spanking... And it was looooooong before 50 Shades of Grey. Don't believe, I'll give you a print out of my Google search. 
10. Pink champagne. I do not do regular champagne. I won't do regular champagne. 

Bonus: An orgasm. Come on no headaches, and no Tylenol. You people go ahead and use something that can be recalled my buzzer and my hand are my besties.
